How capable is A4000 online?

No, it should be reasonably quick for basic sites that work. I've found best performance with MiamiDX + MNI driver, but it sounds like a configuration problem. (IBrowse also needs to be registered and configured before it works optimally.)

Also, what is this MNI driver and where is it available.

MNI = Miami Network Interface? (I think?) It's essentially some device drivers for certain cards that's optimized to work better with miami than the SANA-II equivalents (there are some specifics if you google, probably something in the miami docs as well). It made a *huge* difference with my Ariadne II... network performance was POS with the SANA-II driver, or using Genesis. Now it's simply fantastic.

It should be in the miami archive, I believe "z2-dp8390.mni" is the right one.

ANCIENT hardware = dog slow. Just remember how long the A1200 stock took to render a JPG photo. remember the screen scanning down as it was rendered...

Yes, obviously it will be sluggish, but I doubt he's expecting it to run like a quad-core. If it's totally unusable then there's some other problem.
